Cast in Stone Materials
The project’s own open access goal is to make our materials as freely available for everyone for research and new learning. Please take note of any specific licences that are applied to these materials, as they vary across content types.
Case Studies and Blog Entries
Our Case Studies and Blog Entries have been written by Cast in Stone researchers. On the English website, these written materials are licensed CC BY-SA 4.0. On the French website, they are licensed CC BY NC ND.
Metadata
We publish our metadata using CC0 1.0. We ask that you credit Cast in Stone as the provider of the metadata and link to the database so others may find our work.
Third Party Materials
Many materials found on this website were created by third parties who are not part of the Cast in Stone project team. Some of these materials are openly licensed or in the public domain, which is why we have used them.
However, many other materials are protected by copyright or other rights. Cast in Stone has received permission to use these materials but does not own rights in them.
Below you will find brief descriptions of the types of third party materials and rights held in them. Any restrictions on use are the result of rights held by these third parties.
Openly licensed materials
We use openly licensed materials from Wikimedia Platforms, Historic Environment Scotland and Historic England. You can learn more about our data source in the Data sources, methods and editorial decisions page.
Openly licensed materials are typically marked with Creative Commons licences (e.g., CC BY, CC BY-SA) or the UK’s Open Government Licence (OGL). Because these are licences that apply to the world-at-large, you can also use these materials according to the licence’s terms.
Public domain materials
We use public domain materials from Wikimedia Platforms and contributed by individuals. Public domain materials are typically marked with CC0 or the Public Domain Mark. Because these are Creative Commons tools that signal no rights arise in the work, you can use these materials for any reuse purpose and without restriction.
When using public domain materials, you are encouraged to give credit to the author and the source. More guidance on attribution can be found in Europeana’s Public Domain Usage Guidelines.
All rights reserved
We use a variety of images and other content for which all rights have been reserved by the rights holder. Please ensure that you review and respect these rights statements where they appear on the website.
Interviews
Interviews on the website include audiovisual materials and transcripts. Please note these materials are subject to more restrictive terms.
Audiovisual materials are not openly licensed, as these are protected by performers’ rights and contain the voices and likenesses of Cast in Stone researchers and interviewees. Interview transcripts are similarly restricted, given the rights in the content are held by the interviewees.
All interview materials, including audiovisual materials and transcripts, are published with All Rights Reserved.
Takedown Policy
While the Cast in Stone project has taken all reasonable efforts to ensure the content published on our website and database is not infringing, we cannot entirely eliminate this risk. If you believe any content infringes your rights, please contact us using digitalhumanities@exeter.ac.uk and include a link to the relevant content. We will review the matter and respond as soon as we can.
